After his conversation with Pedro took a few hours, Leo returned to the room, but his steps halted when he saw Alana staring at him with an annoyed expression, folding her arms, causing Leo to swallow hard. Leo could already sense his wife's mood, especially lately during her pregnancy, Alana seemed to have some unusual feelings for a pregnant woman, requiring Leo to muster extra patience to deal with it.

"Has Pedro come back?" Alana asked, making Leo nod as he continued to approach her.

"Couldn't he postpone discussing work matters until tomorrow in the office? Why visit at this hour? Doesn't he understand someone's personal time?" continued Alana, still visibly upset with her husband's secretary's visit.

"Pedro discussed something important, that's why it couldn't be postponed," explained Leo, making Alana sigh in frustration. After that, Alana turned around and walked to her vanity table to perform her nightly ritual, while Leo could only sigh and follow Alana, standing behind her,

    Reno immediately stood up from his seat upon hearing the news that Leo and Alana were on their way to Italy."How could he have such a plan? Shouldn't he just be calm and handle all the projects there?" Reno's outburst made the subordinate delivering the news bow his head."What should we do now?" Reno said again, massaging the bridge of his nose. Reno had to change his strategy when Leo unexpectedly intervened to oversee things himself."Why do you have to look so confused like that? Don't we just need to persuade him for our new project?" a man with smoke billowing from his mouth said."What new project? It's clear that we've changed all the previously approved projects," Reno replied, still looking panicked."Relax a little. Aren't you about to take over all his assets soon? So you just need to play nice for now. Let him see how we're changing all the projects he approved. I know he'll be very angry, but you just need to give him a little understanding that the business we're start

    Alana furrowed her brow as she watched Leo pacing around the room, holding his phone to his ear, and occasionally muttering curses."Is there a problem?" Alana asked, making Leo look her way."No, it's just that someone seems to be avoiding my calls," Leo replied, then continued tinkering with his phone and trying to reach the person. However, once again, it seemed that the person Leo was trying to contact was still unreachable, prompting Leo to throw his phone carelessly. Alana could clearly see the mix of frustration and anger on her husband's face, prompting her to reach out and gently stroke Leo's cheek."Who are you calling?" Alana asked, moving closer, causing Leo to wrap his arms around her waist and hug her."It's my uncle, of course, because my coming here is because of him," Leo answered, making Alana narrow her eyes."So the matter you want to resolve is about your uncle?" Alana asked, now understanding the reason for their trip to Italy, making Leo nod."Yes, there seem to

    Leo then lowered his kiss to Alana's shoulder which was clearly exposed, causing Alana to immediately touch the side of Leo's face and stop his movements. "I'm not comfortable doing it here," said Alana, making Leo return Alana's gaze gently. "No, we won't do it here. Besides, I'm also worried about our future baby here. We'll just do a little warm-up," said Leo while winking, causing Alana to pinch her husband again, Leo then pressed his body closer to Alana, stroking her stomach. around his wife."I can't wait for the birth of our future baby," said Leo right next to the side of Alana's face, making Alana nod and then place her palm on top of Leo's palm. "Me too, can we be good parents for him in the future?" Alana asked, making Leo immediately kiss the side of her face gently. "Of course, I'm sure you can be an extraordinary mother for my future children," Leo answered, making the corners of Alana's lips stretch wide."Why are you so confident that I can be the mother you hope fo

    Alana looked at Leo, who was getting ready and seemed a bit rushed."I won't be long. I've also instructed the hotel staff to prepare food and snacks for you, and you can relax in this room," Leo said as he put on his wristwatch."Another thing, don't leave this room and don't accept any guests who knock on this door," Leo continued, causing Alana to nod in agreement."Are you coming to Italy to deal with something very dangerous?" Alana asked, starting to suspect Leo's behavior. She looked very worried."I'm just going to monitor the progress of the project my uncle is working on. There seems to be a slight discrepancy from the reports I've been receiving," Leo explained, leaving Alana silent. She had started to suspect from the beginning that something was really wrong with his uncle's family."You shouldn't have trusted him from the beginning," grumbled Alana, who had blamed Leo's trust in Reno several times."Yes, that was my mistake. So, now it's time to fix it. It seems I have t

    Currently, Leo is gathering his subordinates who are involved in the project development in Italy. After leaving Reno's room, Leo doesn't stay silent; he immediately takes action and takes over everything. Leo gazes at all his subordinates, whom Reno had personally selected to follow him."I know you are aware that Mr. Reno has been replaced in the initial project, but from now on, I will directly take over. Even though the construction is only at 20%, I can manage it from the beginning, so you have no other choice when I want all initial decisions to be mine and absolute," Leo says, scanning his gaze, attempting to intimidate his employees, making them bow their heads, as they realize that the decisions they made to follow Reno from the start have led them to face the consequences they are dealing with now, receiving a reprimand from Leo directly."So, if any of you disagree with the decisions I make, you can resign immediately, not only from this project but also from the Samudra Gr

    Laughter now fills the dark room, illuminated only by a single lamp shining towards Leo, making Leo squint his eyes towards the distant black shadow in front of him."Are you done cursing him?" Someone says, causing Leo to squint his eyes towards the darkness in front of him. Then, a middle-aged man with a scar on his left cheek appears, puffing on the cigar in his mouth."Who are you?" Leo asks, making the middle-aged man, who seems to be the same age as his late father, now smile at him."Long time no see, Lazarus Leo Smith," the man says, making Leo squint his eyes even more. Apparently, the man in front of him knows him."It seems we don't know each other. So, why have you restrained me like this?" Leo asks, but the next moment Leo realizes something."Wait, could you be the partner working with my beloved uncle?" Leo asks, making the man laugh even more, echoing throughout the room."Turns out you're smart. Actually, we used to know each other. I even held you when you were this

    Leo straightens his head upon hearing the familiar voice of someone he knows well. The screeching voice fills the corridor leading to the room, causing Leo to scan his surroundings. Then, he sees the door nearby open, revealing several burly men dragging his wife's body. Leo widens his eyes."Don't you dare lay a finger on my wife!" Leo shouts with anger consuming him, making Alana, who is struggling, look towards Leo."My love, what's happening? Who are these men?" Alana asks. But Leo doesn't answer her question, instead, he looks towards Edgar who is staring at him."What is the meaning of all this? Release me now," Leo says, but Edgar doesn't answer his question. Instead, someone emerging from behind Alana makes Leo clench his fists tightly. Reno walks casually with a triumphant smile."Put her down and tie her next to her husband," Reno commands, making his henchmen drag Alana again. Alana struggles, making Leo even more worried about her condition. As instructed by his henchmen,

    Especially with Alana unable to believe her eyes at the moment. Alana shakes her head, her eyes brimming with tears."That's not my aunt, is it?" Alana asks, causing Rose to walk closer to Reno, then embrace him and kiss Reno's cheek affectionately, leaving Leo and Alana completely speechless."What is aunt doing?" Alana asks, unable to believe Rose's involvement in Reno's schemes."I'm just bored. I wanted to try something new and challenging. Reno's offered quite an interesting resistance because I've grown tired of living alone without anyone caring for me," Rose says."Aunt can still rely on me and Leo. I didn't expect aunt to act like this. Aunt must be pretending, right?" Alana says, hoping everything her aunt is doing is just a lie."Let me clarify, my dear niece. My intention in sending you to marry Leo was indeed to make Leo fall in love with you, so I could control both of you simultaneously. But unexpectedly, you also fell in love with him," Rose says with a wistful smile.

    This time, Camila walked while holding her uncle's hand, Charlotte's husband. He was a tall man, with blonde hair and striking blue eyes, leading her towards the altar, where Pedro was waiting for her with a beaming smile, making Camila's heart beat faster.

Somehow, his slow steps felt very fast.Until finally, they arrived right in front of the altar, where Pedro immediately reached out his hand, causing Camila to reach out her hand and greet him, prompting Pedro to immediately pull Camila up to the altar, where they would make their sacred vows for a lifetime, witnessed by some important guests attended only by friends and the closest people to Pedro and Camila.Making the sacred vows for life, always faithful in joy or sorrow, always faithful in sickness and in health, they expressed their vows wholeheartedly, living to complement each other until death

    Camila stared at the large mirror in front of her, her heart pounding, unable to believe what she was seeing. Her body was now adorned in a beautiful long white dress, clinging gracefully to her figure, accompanied by makeup enhancing her face. This made Camila purse her lips, finally gazing upon herself as the bride she had dreamed of becoming.Her reverie was interrupted when someone entered, causing Camila to smile broadly. "Aunt," Camila said, as Charlotte walked in wearing a white dress clinging to her body as Pedro had described. Although her aunt was in her fifties, she truly looked like a woman in her thirties. Charlotte then approached Camila, looking at her niece with teary eyes."I never imagined my niece, whom I've taken care of since she was little, would grow up to be so beautiful, even becoming a stunning bride," Charlotte said, making Camila blush, only able to lower her head. Charlotte then reached out her hand and lifted Camila's face."You're truly beautiful. Just l

    Pedro, Camila, Leo, and Alana are currently discussing the plans for Pedro and Camila's wedding, which will be held one week from now after Leo called Alana enthusiastically, who immediately agreed and promised to prepare the wedding for them. Alana asked Leo to bring Pedro and Camila to their home, and this is where they are currently discussing the dream wedding that Pedro and Camila have been longing for."I think it's better to do it indoors," Pedro said, but Camila immediately shook her head."No, I think it will be more sacred and special if we do it outdoors," Camila said, causing Pedro to turn and look at her."Darling, if we do it outdoors, the weather isn't always favorable, sometimes it rains, sometimes it's hot. Do you want our wedding blessing to suddenly be interrupted by rain? What about the guests and others? We can't just rush to avoid the rain, can we?" Pedro said, making Camila pinch his cheek playfully."But isn't there a tent we can use for outdoor events?" Camila

    Leo barged straight into Pedro's room, suddenly, without even knocking, and saw Pedro looking like he hadn't slept for a week."What's up with you? Suddenly applying for leave for next week? Where are you going for a whole week?" Leo asked, seeing the leave letter submitted by his secretary."And what about you? You look really disheveled," Leo asked Pedro again, who was now sitting in front of him."Can I ask for your help?" Pedro suddenly asked, causing Leo to look at him with raised eyebrows."Looks like my guess was right, you've got a problem?" Leo guessed again."It's not really a big problem. I don't know, I could call it a problem or a blessing," Pedro said, making Leo just stare at him with a questioning look, wondering what he meant."A few days ago, after the dinner event at your place, I immediately called Camila's aunt and told her about my intention to propose to her, and also said that Camila's trip to California was canceled. And unexpectedly, she flew here right away

    Pedro and Camila sat in silence, their faces tense as they occasionally glanced at the woman in front of them who was looking around."Is this your house?" the middle-aged woman in front of them asked."Yes, this is my house," Pedro answered, still with a tense atmosphere on their faces."What do you do to afford such a big house?" she asked again, making Camila immediately look at Pedro, then turning back to the woman sitting in front of her, a fashionable middle-aged woman who still looked like she was in her thirties, she was Camila's aunt named Charlotte."Aunt, Pedro is a secretary at Samudra Group. Do you know about that big company?" Camila asked, trying to explain a little bit about Pedro. After returning from dinner at Leo's house the next day, Camila and Pedro planned to tell Charlotte about their relationship. And what they didn't expect was that Charlotte immediately flew over to meet Camila and Pedro. Of course, she didn't agree with Camila's sudden plan. Charlotte said t

    Pedro stopped his car right outside Leo's residence, but as he was about to step out of the car, Camila suddenly pulled the end of his jacket."Why?" Pedro asked, making Camila look at him with hesitation."I'm embarrassed," Camila said, making Pedro just purse his lips. Then, he reached out his hand and gently caressed Camila's cheek."Why be embarrassed? Weren't you very close to Alana before?" Pedro said, making Camila shake her head again."That's not what I'm thinking about. I'm embarrassed to meet Mr. Leo and to know that they already know about your proposal plans," Camila said, feeling anxious, making Pedro once again give her a reassuring smile. Pedro was captivated by the glow on both sides of his future wife's face, looking very beautiful tonight after Pedro had truly explained all his plans to Leo, even though Leo had guessed them beforehand. But Leo pretended not to know and treated the news as a surprise. That's why Leo and Alana decided to invite Pedro and Camila for di

    Pedro fell silent, gazing at Camila who now only lowered her head."What does that shake of your head mean? Is it a sign that you're rejecting my proposal?" Pedro asked, causing Camila to raise her face again, looking into Pedro's pleading eyes."It's not like that," Camila said, causing Pedro to raise an eyebrow."Then what's your answer?" Pedro asked."Of course, I would gladly accept your proposal, but there's something bothering me. I'm still not sure about what you feel for me. It's hard to believe that you could declare your proposal so quickly, especially when we still have two weeks to get to know each other," Camila said, unable to meet Pedro's gaze as he now only looked at their intertwined fingers."Love doesn't require much time to settle in someone's heart. Imagine, initially I didn't think I would develop feelings for you, but when I learned about your feelings for me, I started to open my heart. And I also feel surprised, usually I never easily open my heart to other wo

    Pedro stared at Camila with furrowed brows."What's wrong? I'm just giving my opinion on the movie we're watching," Pedro said, causing Camila to sigh deeply."I'm not blaming you for having an opinion about this movie, but can we not judge them based solely on scenes like that?" Camila said, feeling like Pedro was intentionally bringing up such scenes."What's wrong with that?" Pedro asked, seemingly wanting to corner Camila further."I don't know, but it's better if we just go back to watching. Besides, the scene has already passed. Look, they're not kissing anymore," Camila said, then fell silent while looking at Pedro, who was staring at her mischievously. Somehow, she had clearly mentioned the scene, making Camila close her eyes in embarrassment."You're the one who mentioned the scene so explicitly. Alright, now that they're done with their acting, I'm curious. What if we do it now?" Pedro suddenly said, making Camila widen her eyes."What?" Camila said, but her words were cut o

    Camila, who was engrossed in watching the drama she had been eagerly anticipating, was suddenly startled when Pedro sat right next to her, causing Camila to furrow her brow as she glanced at him."Aren't you supposed to be resting?" Camila asked, making Pedro nod briefly."Well, I was planning to rest, but it turns out I'm not sleepy yet, so I thought I'd just keep you company and watch with you," Pedro said, causing Camila to fall silent and choose to return her gaze to the flat screen in front of her. Of course, at the moment, she was watching a romantic drama about love. Camila wasn't sure if Pedro would like the drama she was currently watching, but several minutes passed and Pedro remained faithfully seated beside her, not budging at all, causing Camila to hesitantly glance at Pedro who was focused on the movie in front of him. Could he actually enjoy films like this with a romantic drama vibe? Camila wondered as she looked at him with raised eyebrows, but from his appearance, Pe
